Hiya
We just opened a Westpac bank account on line the other day... it only takes a couple of minutes !!!
You choose which city main branch you want too, so its all ready and waiting for when you arrive !!!! They send you an e-mail & letter to confirm with reference/account numbers , you just have to transfer a little bit of money in within 30 days I think. The when you get to Oz, you just have to activate ..... this means going into the branch to pick up cards etc., prove your residency with passport visa & Oz address then your good to go !!!!
Here's the link: Westpac Internet -Migrant banking
